Another glitch artlicle here from today. Usual pattern of rasing hopes and then dashing them out the next day.

Tom Gores repeatedly asks for more financial information from the Pistons. Karen Davidson tells friends she believes she has lost control of the process. NBA officials twice express confidence the end of negotiations for the purchase of the team is at hand, while league officials simultaneously push for a higher selling price. ​

Hopes for an agreement to buy the team are raised, and then dashed.

But, despite reports a deal was at hand, no agreement has been reached. Nearly 15 months after Bill Davidson's widow began talking about selling the Pistons, Gores and her agent, Citi Private Bank, still are negotiating. In fact, some close to the negotiators say that not only is no agreement imminent, Karen Davidson's fatigue and frustration are growing. ​
